The condo was lovely and just as described. Plenty of space for our family and such wonderful views from front and back! Beds were comfy and everything was clean and ready for us. We love Okaloosa and feel like El Matador is a bit of a hidden gem - one of our favorites! ##### Susan H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin S. Apr 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay Our family of five absolutely loved our stay at this condo. The unit was beautiful- so clean and well maintained and it had everything we needed, plus more. The condo building was very nice too and we loved its quiet location at the end of the island. The beach was not too busy and of course just gorgeous. You really can't beat the gulf side, with its sandy white beach and blue water. We also enjoyed the pools at the condo, especially the heated one as we had some cooler days. The owner went above and beyond to communicate with us and was so kind and gracious. My family agrees that this is our new favorite vacation rental, and we hope to return! ##### Erin S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### damian m.

The kitchen was fully loaded for our needs and the pools provided an amazing recreational experience. Beach access was a 5-minute walk with the elevator ride. The water was outstanding with big waves present near the end of our trip. We wished we could stay longer. ##### damian m. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney B.

The balcony has a great view of the pool/ocean and the unit is plenty large for my family of five. The owner is always quick to respond and checks in with us at the beginning and end of our stay which I greatly appreciate. ##### Courtney B.

The extra room was perfect for our children and there was tons of storage space. We loved being able to see the beach and main pool from the balcony. The owner is super quick to respond and extremely nice. We plan to rebook this unit each year for our family vacation. ##### Courtney B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia L.

We always try to stay at El Matador because we fell in love with it years ago but I must say this was the best unit we have stayed in so far! Owner is super nice and quick to respond. She goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect! Also the unit had so many things we needed already! Usually we have to make trips to the store for so many different things not kept for our use(can opener pizza pan etc) Location of unit on the property was perfect! The balcony was on the inside and closer to the water than we are use to so we could see the beach easily and the main pool. Which was nice because we had teenage boys so we were able to watch without staying down there. We will definitely be staying here again! ##### Julia L.

The unit was very clean and had been updated recently. The owner made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay and checked in periodically via email. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fb110d8-ce98-4f35-a882-580c9d2611db-1745789212968.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kristin P.

Beautiful, clean, fine, white sand and gorgeous turquoise water! The unit we were in was gorgeous. The kitchen was fully stocked with lots of extras. Plenty of extra towels, blankets and pillows. Our family had a great time and will be back again! ##### Tonya K.
